It appears that Guns N’ Roses keyboardist Dizzy Reed just made the list…for not being worthy of being in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. WWE wrestler and Fozzy singer Chris Jericho tweeted over the weekend asking why Dizzy Reed qualified for being in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but Bruce Kulick and Eric Carr didn’t get inducted with KISS. Dizzy Reed and Matt Sorum were the only non-original Guns N’ Roses members to be inducted with the band, but they were part of the Use Your Illusion albums and tour, a period where Guns N’ Roses were the biggest live rock act on the planet before they fell apart.
Chris Jericho tweeted, “No disrespect, but How the fuck is @DizzyReed in the Rock HOF for @gunsnroses and @brucekulick & @EricCarr_TheFox from @KISSOnline are not??? Explain that to me @RollingStone ??”
Popular SiriusXM rock radio host Eddie Trunk responded, “Because the Rock Hall reluctantly put Kiss in. Dizzy has been in G&R 28 years. He deserves it. How did Dio not going in with Sabbath? 4 albums! Beyond the bands that do or don’t get in, who from the bands the Hall selects is a mess also!”
KISS were snubbed from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for years, while Guns N’ Roses were immediately inducted after becoming eligible 25 years after the release of Appetite for Destruction in 2012.
No disrespect, but How the fuck is @DizzyReed in the Rock HOF for @gunsnroses and @brucekulick & @EricCarr_TheFox from @KISSOnline are not??? Explain that to me @RollingStone ??
